The diference was 1,409 – 1,233= 0,176 for 150Kg
For 75 Kg the diference was 0,176/2= 0,088
The Acuras Ran with 800 Kg.
It was the best equivalency
In 2008 its were: Audi R10 TDI 925/750= 1,233
Porsches and Acuras 800/550Hp= 1,455
The diference was 1,455 – 1,233= 0,222 for 125 Kg
For 75 Kg the diference was 0,222/5*3= 0,133
Actually the relationship with a P2 run in 825 Kg must be:
P1 900 Kg/ 570 Hp= 1,579
P2 825 Kg/ 500 Hp= 1,65
The diference is 1,65 – 1,579= 0,071 for 75 Kg
Then the relationship in favor of P2 is better than the 2007
And Remember that in 2007 and 2008 the torque of the P2 cars were much lower than the Audi R10 TDI. In the actually the P2 engine have more torque than the P1.

All interesting math... yet you've made assumptions on hp that are based upon what?

Perhaps you've come closer to equalizing the privateer LMP1's, with the Nissan powered LMP2's... but most certainly the factory backed P1 cars would still be much faster.
